RiskTaker D-Boy gets personal with “Dysfunctional Family”

RiskTaker D-Boy’s “If You My N*gga” was a belly flop into the competitive Detroit scene. It established him as one of the city’s go-to lyricsts early, complete with a no-nonsense flow that will make him a household name in the near future. Back for another go around, RiskTaker D-Boy has returned with “Dysfunctional Family,” a somber, yet personal look into the going-ons in his life. It’s a melancholy track that shows his versatility and lets loose all of his faults over wax.

Cookie Money gets reflective on “Came Up”

The “Started from the bottom” narrative of hip-hop will never get old. The genre, founded as a response to disco music but eventually would become a culture for the downtrodden, embraces the story because so many of us come from similar upbringings. Oakland, CA’s Cookie Money is someone that embodies this narrative, coming from the bottom and he’s rapidly headed towards success. On his new single “Came Up” he looks back at his journey and his doubters. Now, he can do doughnuts in expensive cars because he can afford to. His money’s good, he’s happy, and he’s coming up. What more could one ask for?

Stunna Girl is a sexy, dangerous femme fatale in “On The Record”

The first thing that you’ll notice about Sacramento’s Stunna Girl is that she’s high class like Saweetie, but violent like Cuban Doll. She’s an interesting character and her music incorporates these extremes smartly, enough to make her particular glitzy brand of trap music have more substance than one would initially expect. Her new single “On The Record” is a certified smash, the visual helping to make her sex appeal more easily understood by the general public. Both the song and the video are great extensions of her personality and we can’t wait to see more of her.

If you watch SandMan’s “On The Scale,” don’t watch it at work

Sandman traveled to a strip club and filmed “On The Scale,” a hard-hitting new track from the Detroit native. The song itself is a captivating listen, his suprisingly calm delivery being at odds with the visual aesthetic on display. And that aesthetic consists of booty, lots of booty. So much, in fact, that you may not see the same set of glutes twice. But the song is clearly built for strip club play, so it’s great that the visual reinforces that focus.
